Annual Valentine Song Festival! A Pretty Girl Is Like A Melody, John Steel, Rudy Vallee

 

This song is another study of the change that came with microphones and electric recording vs acoustic recording. John Steel, star of the Ziegfeld stage had to sing to the back of the auditorium, and record through a megaphone to a vibrating diaphragm.  Fifteen years later, Rudy Vallee crooned to microphones.
